Equestria have been saved once again, the Windigos are gone, and three members of the Legion of doom have been defeated and turned to stone, all's well that ends well.
As everycreature started to leave, Raven Inkwell speaks out for she believes that there is still one more member of the Legion of doom that needs to be punish too, that member being, DISCORD.
But Fluttershy believes that Discord should be forgiven for he made up for his mistake of forming The Legion of Doom.
Its Raven Inkwell vs. Fluttershy in a heated debate to that will determine Discords fate.

Note: It's hard to see at first glance but know that the cover art of Raven is showing that she is extremely angry. Just do a close up on the pic and you can see her eyebrows scowling.

Raven has a point. It's not fair to give Discord so many chances and leave him unpunished while the trio, who he brought together, threatened and manipulated into this whole mess in the first place don't even get a single attempt at rehabilitation.

I agree. Stone Startard! Oh wait, I forgot, ponies can do things like disrupt time, steal cutie marks, and mind control people without punishment, but NONPONIES get the chair.
The problem with that is if he deserves to be punished, then nearly every pony in the cast needs to be punished as well.
I mean, it’s not that simple.
Even with his powers stolen he still came in clutch.
And if you compare his crimes to other villains, his seems more justified.
I’m sorry, how many times have she saved equestria while you say on your a** doing paper work?
Do you want a lie detector test?
I actually haven’t.
Not really seeing the problem.
What the f*ck she think this is a court room? I would have just left.
I like this so far.

This is about Discord not Starlight.
As much as I like Discord, he really should of gotten more than a simple slap on the wrist for what he did. He saw everyone as pawns that he expected would go his way when he pushed the Legion of Doom together. In Raven’s words, what the buck.
Another huge damage Discord's plan had done is Luna and Celestia's reputations.
Even if his plan didn't go haywire, most likely the sisters will getting taken out on their last days as rulers.
On their very last days as rulers, they end up looking like massive failures.
Insult added to injury too with how his plan rubs it in that Luna and Celestia are NOTHING due to losing their connection to the Elements.
With how they didn't get to be included in the final rainbow laser despite they wielded the Elements before and their cutie marks were on the damn tree.
In other words, Discord's plan essentially done sabotage by making Luna and Celestia look bad while propping up Twilight.
Hell, this affects Shining Armor and Cadance due to their reputations are most likely demolished due to the very monster who tormented the Crystal Ponies easily took over.
Twilight is going to go through hell in political stuff. Such as many nobles(especially ones who hated Twilight taking the throne) will mistake this as a conspiracy. Like them going "Twilight secretly conspired with Discord to damage Luna and Celestia's reputations while making herself look good all to ensure she gets the throne!". Twilight is going to have a hard time dealing with those kind of nobles there, many probably trying to use this to boot her off the throne.
I wonder if Raven will bring up on how Discord's plan screwed Spike?
Like despite Spike is a close friend to him(as shown with guy's night stuff), Discord's plan most likely messed up his status as hero to the Crystal Ponies due to how things went.
And how Discord essentially screwed Spike since he's not an Element Bearer, given how Discord used Sombra to boost the Mane 6's confidence at the expense of Spike getting brainwashed and humiliated. Hell, this rubbed it into Spike's wounds that he will ultimately be in the girls' shadows due to not being an Element Bearer(while he was included in the final rainbow laser, that was probably a miracle it happened)
Ugh, another "Discord should be punished" story. He made a big mistake, but he made up for it by risking his powerless self to free his friends.

If the ponies were willing to forgive Tempest Shadow, Stygian, and Starlight Glimmer for their misdeeds, without any kind of punishment at all, then having them be so vindictive about Discord trying to help Twilight (in his own bizarre way) makes them look just plain hypocritical.
10781688
They didn’t?
I hope you explain how this screwed over Starlight as well as Discord literally sics Chrysalis after her knowing she is out for Starlight’s blood.
10781749
it bad writing honestly, they ruined many characters with bad writing in last few seasons and discord character was assassinated in last season.
10781756
no spoilers
Shhh!
10781749
Honestly, my problem with the story is that it seems too black and white. Raven says that intentions don’t matter, but that’s not even close to the truth.
10781749
Ahh! Blue my archnemesis. We meet again. Under the most crazy of circumstances.
10781749
Yeah, most of these are people causing the Mane 6 to feel their own frustrations.
Me personally, I'm indifferent but for one thing...why...in the name of God and Satan and everything in between...did Discord take them at their WORD THAT THEY DIDN'T FIND THE BELL!!?
Discord was aware of Celestia's intent to reform him while he was trapped in stone! There is no excuse for him being that stupid.
10781760
What about with what Discord had done to Spike too?
10781740
Hey there Night. I'm glad you're here
Don't worry Raven got you covered on alot of things. She does have a lot to discuss after all and by the end we will see if discord truly deserves to be punished or forgiven.
10781769
Did you happen to see the first comment I posted too?
10781761
She was only pointing out all the times Discord trick and manipulated others, to prove her point that its possible that he's doing the exact same thing with the legion of doom.
She already knows why he did those things, but the focus wasn't on why he did it but that he can do it.
10781766
my take on that is discord was playing them from the start, he knew they had the bell and let them take his powers so, he be more sympathetic to twilight,i had a plan with good intension but it backfired because im discord and i dont think it through, when he wanted them to do it so they unleash maximum chaos get defeated and the status quo would be restored and he be forgiven relatively quickly, and he enjoy the chaos until needs his next fix
10781756
He didn't. He was planning on sending Chrysalis after Twilight (and setting her and the others up to fail).
10781770
You mean the one I just commented on?
10781775
Ok, but how did the topic go from discord needing to be punished for his crimes to his friendship with the others being fake?
10781781
The other one.
The big comment I posted
10781782
When did that happen? I never said or mention anything about his friendship with the mane 6 being fake. It's as real as real can be. But even friends can make mistakes.
10781778
Fair enough.
10781740
If so yeah I did.
10781790
Didn’t she mention discord playing them from the beginning?
10781777
Hmm...possibly.
10781793
When’s the next chapter coming out, out of curiousity I’m hyped.
10781794
She meant from when Discord brought Sombra back.
I'll go back and fix that so their won't be anymore confusion
10781805
Ohh. Ok
10781769
But, if he’s punished, does that mean everyone has to be punished as well?
10781802
Whenever I get to it really. Will work on it more on the weekends, since its my days off.
10781754
Nope. Discord was released to be rehabilitated and wasn't given up on. Among the trio only Chrysalis got a chance and even that was tiny in comparison. Tirek was locked in a cage for a thousend years while Cozy was immedietly given up on upon her reveal.
10781810
Okay.
10781793
Ok.
Ironically Discord's plan to boost Twilight's confidence most likely destroyed what confidence Luna and Celestia have left within.
Especially Luna's case..
10781811
Oh yea. Now I remember.
10781808
I can't answer that without spoiling things. You just have to wait and see
10781818
Oh ok.
10781699
10781712
Actually, that’s a good point, and I’d like to add more to it if you both would allow me.
10781863
What is it?
10781876
Ok, inkwell said that it didn’t matter if someone redeemed themselves or the intentions, right?
10781881
Uh yes.
